Robert Jenrick, the shadow minister for racism called yesterday for an inquiry.

He was told that there had already been an inquiry and that the results of the inquiry were available

Mr Kendrick, however, disputed the results of the inquiry, claiming the whole process must be flawed.

“There is no way this inquiry was carried out with rigour and high-standards I would expect because if it had been then it would have found that brown people were to blame.”

However, experts believe that the reason the inquiry didn’t find that brown people were to blame was because that brown people weren’t to blame.

Mr Jenrick disputed that assertion.

“Nonsense. If we had another inquiry then I’m certain that it would find that brown people were to blame and if it didn’t then we should have a further inquiry.”

Frankly, I think the only sensible thing to do is to hold as many inquiries as is necessary before brown people are found to be to blame.

Kemi Badenoch, the Tory leader for the next couple of days, was unable to comment as she’d got herself stuck in a revolving door.

Meh, I'm not so sure. We need to get used to the fact that reddit's fuckery is unlikely to ever re-produce the massive influx of new users that the API nonsense did in 2023. That was a one-off thing that drove out all the OG users. The people left on reddit are the types that refer to it as an "app" and probably don't even know old.reddit exists. Those kinds of people will grumble but they aren't going anywhere. And frankly, that's fine by me.

Edit: lmao okay, okay, Lemmy got 6 new users today. I get it. My point that we're never going to see another user influx on the scale of the summer 2023 API changes has been proven wrong. Congrats everyone. Let's hope half of them actually stick around.

It's almost seven years old, but sadly, more relevant today than it's ever been.

 

ST. LOUIS  Donald Trump, with permission from President Elon Musk, has enacted his latest executive order, essentially removing all DEI hires from every chessboard in America. The US Chess Federation is currently adhering to the order, but plans to fight it in courts in the coming weeks. We took to chessboards across the country to see how chess pieces were feeling about Musk’s latest order.

“I think it’s about time we leveled the playing field,” said a white knight who happened to be a blood relative to the King. “The other side was just hiring black knights to fill a space. Those guys aren’t nearly as qualified as me when it comes to moving in L-shapes.”

The front row whites also showed excitement for the changes coming to the game. Every pawn we spoke to mentioned the ‘high hopes’ they had for their future on the board.

“This is a win for the little guy,” one white pawn said. “The chances of me making it to the other side and getting a promotion have gone way way way up. Maybe one day I can make it into the back row myself.”

Not all pieces are too happy about the new order. White Queen felt blindsided about the changes to the game.

“What the fuck, I’m considered DEI? I thought it was just the black pieces,” the white queen said. “This is bullshit. Who was moving around the board making all the moves? Me. Who was saving the sorry King from all the checks and from getting checkmated? Me. I worked my ass off for that side of the board and this is how I get thanked? Getting tossed aside in favor of some stupid moron who can only move one space at a time. Fuck you and fuck this game.”

At press time Trump had asked permission from President Musk to sign a new executive order, allowing the King to move wherever he wanted. Musk replied he would look into it.

The only reason you know this is satire is because it implies Trump listens to his supporters.
